The Solent Forum
Working in partnership for the future
The Solent Forum publishes a free bi-annual newsletter called Solent News. This reviews all the coastal news that has happened in the Solent over the last six months. It is produced as summer and winter editions and is publicised widely across the Solent's coastal community.
We welcome articles on coastal matters for inclusion or any coastal news from the last six months. Articles should be a maximum of 300 words and preferably be illustrated with an image. Please submit articles to the Solent Forum Office at Solent Forum Office. Previous issues can be viewed below. Issue 60 will be published in July 2026, the deadline for articles is 26 June 2026.
Please remember that Solent Forum members can also use the Forum's monthly monthly enews service to publicise news, events, consultations or job opportunities. Send all details to the Solent Forum Office.
Submission Guidelines
We only include articles in Solent News that adhere to the Solent Forum's position of being a politically neutral and independent information sharing body. Consequently, as a matter of principle, we don't publish articles where individual Solent Forum members are responding to local consultations, planning or marine licence applications, or are campaigning or lobbying about specific issues. We also do not include opinion pieces.
Latest Issue
Solent News was first published in December 1997. Below are links to the digital copies (pdf files).
